Mahindra will continue to follow its tradition of showcasing something new on the occasion of India’s Independence Day. In the last three years, the company unveiled the all-new Thar, XUV700 and its Born electric SUVs on the 15th of August respectively. This time around, Mahindra will go global once again and reveal the pickup concept version of the Scorpio-N in South Africa.
Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup concept: What to expect?
The teaser video of the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup concept reveals that it will have a muscular road presence. It features Mahindra’s new twin peaks logo, chunky tyres and LED tail lamps. Internally codenamed Z121, the new Mahindra Global Pik Up Vision will differ significantly from the Scorpio Getaway just as the Scorpio-N does from the Scorpio Classic.
